# Writing in Markdown All Hatch course content is authored in Markdown. This keeps your content portable, version-controllable, and easy to write. ## Basics Use headings to structure your lesson: ```markdown # Main Title ## Section ### Subsection ``` ## Formatting - **Bold** text with `**double asterisks**` - *Italic* text with `*single asterisks*` - `Inline code` with backticks - [Links](https://example.com) with `[text](url)` ## Code Blocks Use fenced code blocks with a language identifier for syntax highlighting: ```javascript function greet(name) { return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to Hatch.`; } ``` ## Lists Both ordered and unordered lists work as expected: 1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item ## Tips > Use blockquotes to call out important information or tips for your learners.
